My Town

Patty Smyth

I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge

The new graffiti says that life's a bitch

And now I hear this bridge is falling down

Someone will steal it before it hits the ground

Now I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhood

Where I was just a little girl and life was good

But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck with me

I'm gonna keep on walking, they don't see

This is my town

I was born and raised on these streets

This is my town

Oh yeah, my town

Too many people are on the street tonight

It's way too hot someone's looking for a fight

What a mess of faces in an endless sea

I'm getting tired of all this energy

I guess I could just pick it up and move outside of town

And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down

But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S.
